The programs and slate for the 11th Sarasota Film Festival were announced today.

Running March 25 - April 5, many of this year's top titles on the fest circuit will converge to the Gulf Coast including opening night film Oren Moverman's The Messenger and Adam Del Deo/James D. Stern’s Every Little Step to close the fest. See the full list of titles at sarasotafilmfestival.com.

Full of programs throughout the ten days, one of the biggest will be a tribute to Hal Ashby. Along with showcasing many of his films and bringing out some of the people who knew him best like David Carradine, Illeana Douglas, Norman Jewison, Jon Voight and Ashby's daughter, Leigh MacManus, frequent Filmmaker contributor Nick Dawson will be on hand to sign copies of his Ashby biography, Being Hal Ashby: Life Of A Hollywood Rebel, and moderating the tribute.
